Or make the trailer itself have a large battery in it that the truck just hooks into, then the truck only needs a small capacity battery to handle moving from trailer to trailer. Then the trailers can charge while they are empty or during loading/unloading.
- hetspookjee 9y agoTrailers are vastly cheaper than the truck. I think it is insolveable to depend on battery loaded trailers. You lose so much flexibility with such a setup. Much better to keep the battery in the truck.
- stock_toaster 9y agoyeah, you are probably right. I guess in the future if you don't need a cab (no human driver), and you don't need heavy fuel tanks (plus full fuel weight), you can use much of that space to put quite a bit of battery.
